Peacehaven & T. Res.  1  Wick Res.  2 

The Reserves are still looking for their first League win of the season after losing 2-1 at home to Wick.

They lined up with an unfamiliar 4-5-1 to start the game and despite being the better team in the opening few minutes they went behind to an 8th minute goal against the run of play.

Peacehaven had the better chances throughout the first half with the Wick keeper the busier of the two, he made a good double save off of a Darren Wall effort and a good save with his legs from a Dean Gilmour freekick.

Halftime saw Matt Rozzier come on for Michael Page and a change of formation back to the usual 4-4-2. Neither keeper was troubled much in the second half and on 76 minutes Wick sealed the win after a ball in behind the Peacehaven back line was put passed the on-rushing Dan Mcdonnell.

Joe Spencer nicked a late consolation goal on 87 minutes to reward his hard work.

Speaking after the game, Manager Richard Whittington commented, "It was a disappointing loss today. We lacked a cutting edge - and inexperience cost us. But we are a very young side with good players and we are learning things about ourselves every game"
